Including SAP Systems in the Transport Domain 

Prerequisites

Once you have configured an SAP system as the transport domain controller, you can include all additional systems in the transport domain.

Procedure

This occurs in two steps:

...

       1.      Submit the new SAP system to be included in the transport domain.

       2.      Confirm the inclusion in the transport domain controller.

Submitting a System to Be Included

To include an SAP system in the transport domain, proceed as follows:

...

       1.      Log on in client 000 in the SAP system that you want to include in the transport domain.

       2.      Call transaction STMS.

If your SAP systems have a common transport directory, TMS proposes that you include this SAP system in the transport domain when you call the transaction.

(If your SAP Systems do not have a common transport directory, see SAP Systems Without a Common Transport Directory.)

The dialog box TMS: Include System in Transport Domain appears, displaying the transport domain name and the address data of the domain controller.

If your SAP system consists of multiple application servers, you can choose one server for the TMS.

       3.      Save your entries. Your SAP system performs the following actions automatically:

○       Creates the user TMSADM.

○       Generates the RFC destinations required for the TMS.

○       Sends the address data to the domain controller.

○       Sends the profile parameter for configuring the transport control program to the domain controller.

○       Configures the SAP system as a single system.

The initial screen of transaction STMS indicates that the system is waiting to be included in the transport domain.

For security reasons, the domain controller must confirm the inclusion of the SAP system.

Confirming the Inclusion of the System

To confirm the inclusion of the system in the transport domain, proceed as follows:

...

       1.      Log on to the SAP system that is the transport domain controller.

       2.      Call transaction STMS.

       3.      Choose Overview  → Systems.

The system overview appears.

The Status column shows that an SAP system is waiting to be included in the transport domain.

       4.      Position the cursor on this SAP system and choose SAP System → Approve.

       5.      Confirm the prompt and distribute the configuration.

This SAP system now contains the necessary information about all the other SAP systems in the transport domain. At the same time, the address data of the new SAP system is sent to all the other SAP systems, and the SAP system is entered in the transport profile of the transport control program.

To avoid losing data, always check the transport groups after you include an SAP system in a transport domain.

To reject the inclusion of an SAP system in the transport domain, choose SAP System → Delete in the system overview of the domain controller.

Check the consistency of the transport groups. Incorrectly configured transport groups can damage import queues and transport logs.

Result

The configuration of the transport domain is now complete for this SAP system.
